Solution

The correct option is D Stapes
The middle ear contains three tiny bones: Malleus, incus and stapes. These bones are collectively called the ear ossicles. The function of these ossicles is to amplify and transmit the vibrations of the tympanum to the oval window. They are then transferred to the inner ear.
